Glass As Art : Glass Vs Art
We all know I'm an "Apple fanboy", but come on, their new "glass cube" Apple store in New York City is quite unique and pretty astoundingly beautiful. I can't help but compare it to the hideous glass monstrosity that is the "Brown Center" at the MICA in Baltimore. Bek and I recently saw a film there that was part of the Baltimore Film Festival. We really liked the movie ("Hamilton"), but man is that building ugly. It's a dirty green color, and seems pointlessly angled this way and that. The inside is certainly much better, but to a large extent it was nothing new, and just trendy, even a bit like the interior of the chain tex-mex restaurant Chipotle (and many others that have used a similar industrial looking interior with exposed ventilation shafts and such). I suppose I ought to see the exterior of the Brown Building as a work of art, but I just can't get around the fact that it is an eyesore, especially compared to everything around it. Plus you can't buy one of those beautiful MacBook's there, and what fun is that?
